I've been a SC (FFM andPturning) user off and on since '92 mainly 2 axis milling and turning and never really had enough demand or experience with 2 1/2 or 3 axis milling to become profficient.  In fact I havent programmed much at all the past couple of years as I became a machine shop supervisor (nothing but grief) and  then transfered to a proto-type design group for remote field machining equipment.   Guys in the shop are now using FeatureCam with no knowledge of SC.  After looking at the front end of ACAD and S'works for past couple of years I recently loaded FreeForm and I hate to say it I'm stumbling through the menus and icons. I've exported what I'd used to call a fairly simple solid to  ACIS 2.1 and IGES formats and can import either into FreeForm......thats where it ends.  enough of my jabber....anybody out there got a minute to give me a few pointers on getting some toolpath on surface of part?  I can send it in whatever format.  Thanks,  Mac
